SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2009. The Company also announced that Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Francis F. Lee, is retiring as CEO. Mr. Lee will continue to serve as Chairman and will remain involved with the Company as an advisor to Synaptics' management team. Thomas J. Tiernan, currently President and Chief Operating Officer, will succeed Mr. Lee as President and CEO, effective immediately.
The Company's GAAP results reflect the expensing of non-cash share-based compensation and non-cash impairment charges for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and the years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009; and a non-cash non-operating gain for the quarter and year ended June 30, 2009.
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $115.3 million, an increase of approximately 19% over $96.9 million of net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $13.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 included a non-cash non-operating gain of $160,000, and net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 included a non-cash impairment charge of $4.7 million, both of which were related to the Company's investment in auction rate securities.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $17.2 million, an increase of 60% compared with non-GAAP net income of $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. On a per share basis, non-GAAP net income was $0.47 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of 57% compared with net income per diluted share of $0.30 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)
Net revenue for fiscal 2009 was $473.3 million, an increase of approximately 31% over $361.1 million for fiscal 2008. Net income for fiscal 2009 was $54.3 million, an increase of 75% compared with net income of $31.1 million for fiscal 2008. On a per share basis, net income was $1.53 per diluted share, an increase of 94% compared with net income per diluted share of $0.79 for fiscal 2008.
Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2009 was $77.9 million, an increase of 52% compared with non-GAAP net income of $51.4 million for fiscal 2008. On a per share basis, non-GAAP net income was $2.19 per diluted share, an increase of 67% compared with non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $1.31 for fiscal 2008. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)
"Fiscal 2009 was another strong year for Synaptics despite the challenging economic environment, with record annual revenue and net income growing 31% and 75%, respectively," stated Mr. Lee. "Our strong performance reflects solid execution across our key markets and continued progress towards our diversification strategy based on the expanding adoption of Synaptics' interface solutions in the mobile phone market. While the current macro uncertainties are evident in our customers' order patterns, we are encouraged by our growing pipeline of design opportunities in both the PC and non-PC markets. We expect continued growth in fiscal 2010 and will continue to invest for the future."
Kathy Bayless, SVP Finance, added, "As we look ahead to the first quarter and new fiscal year, our outlook considers global economic conditions and the dynamic nature of the markets in which we participate. Based on our current visibility, customer order patterns, customer forecasts and backlog of $62.8 million exiting the June quarter, we anticipate revenue in the September quarter will be $113 million to $119 million. As compared to the prior year quarter, we expect solid growth from mobile phone applications, while PC based revenue will decline, primarily reflecting the expected decrease in revenue from multi-media control applications, as well as a generally lower priced touchpad product mix. Additionally, our current outlook for fiscal 2010 suggests a revenue range of $495 million to $525 million, with the first half of the year roughly flat year over year."
Synaptics' cash and short-term investments at the end of June totaled $192.0 million. This balance excludes $28.8 million at book value of auction rate securities, which are included in non-current assets on the balance sheet. In the September quarter, the Company received redemptions of $3.3 million of certain auction rate securities, resulting in a $160,000 non-cash, non-operating gain. The company continues to monitor its investments in auction rate securities in light of the current economic uncertainties.
Mr. Lee added, "Synaptics is stronger and better positioned than at any time in its history and as I am interested in dedicating more of my time to my family, my foundation and other charitable and civic endeavors, I feel this is the right time for me to step down as CEO. Tom and I have worked closely together to spearhead the company's growth over the past three years, and the Board and I have confidence in Tom's ability to lead the company through its next stages of growth. Since joining the company in March 2006, Tom's strong business background, general management capabilities and focus on execution have served Synaptics well. During that time he has taken on increased responsibilities and broadened his role and impact within Synaptics. Tom has proven his ability to lead our global team, forge important customer relationships, expand our technology into exciting new markets, and deliver record financial results despite tough market conditions."
"I am grateful for the confidence that Francis and the Board have placed in me, and I could not be more pleased that Francis will continue to be involved as an advisor to the Synaptics leadership team," commented Mr. Tiernan. "Our prospects have never been brighter, and I am highly energized by the opportunity to continue the company's mission of innovating and deploying intuitive touch solutions across multiple end-markets globally. We will build on the growth and profitability that Synaptics has achieved since its IPO in 2002 and maintain a strong focus on enhancing shareholder value as we move forward."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses net income per share excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items is not a measurement of the Company's financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income. The Company presents net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance. The Company believes this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences in net income caused by the existence and timing of non-cash compensation charges and unusual or non-recurring items. Net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company's GAAP net income. The principal limitations of this measure are that it does not reflect the Company's actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its net income and net income per share.
